FIREFIGHTERS had to help a woman out of a smoke-filled home following an incident in Hemyock.

Two fire engines from Wellington and one from Taunton were mobilised to an address in Riverside on Wednesday (June 19) at just before 6pm.

A spokesman for the Devon and Somerset Fire and Rescue Service said it had received reports of a home being full of smoke.

“We found that the property was heavily smoke-logged and we removed one adult female from the property,” said the spokesman.

“The fire was confined to the cooker in the kitchen. There was only fire damage to a saucepan and we removed it from the kitchen to the open. The female was given first aid by crews until the Ambulance Service arrived.”
